Is the water conditioned? It should be to remove chlorine. Also, room temperature is too cold for a betta. The tank should have a filter and a heater, be 3 gallons of more, and be around 26 degrees Celsius.

Yes the water is conditioned. This either stress coat or Tetra Easy Balance.

How big is your tank/bowl? In your other post, you said it's 1-gallon? If you don't do a 100% water change every three to four days, your betta will get sick from ammonia poisoning and probably die before the first month's water change is scheduled.

Also, take out most of the gravel since it uses up space that can be filled with water!!!

Oh, and don't forget pictures, if possible. That helps a LOT. Unless you're uber duber good with visually explaining things. Lol.

Or just keep it in a decent tank to begin with, with a cycled filter and heater - since bettas are no different to most other anabantids and require much the same basic equipment, and save yourself a lot of work and your betta a lot of stress and possible disease.
